  Popped & poured
  
  Nose: A little bell peppers & greenness, obvious tobacco and a lovely plum on the nose. Some alcohol fumes could be detected. Not a very new world nose as I thought because it seems more musky and earthy rather than an in-your-face fruit.
  Taste: Great juicy fruit of plums and cherries that tastes real. Medium to heavy body with an average length finish. Fine tannins that give it good structure along with some pepper on the taste. The mid-palate was slightly hollow during the transition.
  
  1 hour later
  Nose: The nose developed to include licorice, some mocha which is always nice and tobacco remained.
  Taste: Still fresh plums, some sour cherries appeared and cedar box components appeared.
